Hi all,

Using FOG has been the first time I’ve touched Linux, so please bare with me if all this seems very stupid…

Our FOG was built on a virtual machine. We ran out of space so I looked into extending it.

I ended up just mounting a new, bigger partition to the /Images folder. ( simply: mount /dev/sda3 /images and then I added permissions for everybody via chmod a+rwx /images)

This seemed to be working OK. Since then, I’ve rebooted the FOG VM and now my Images folder is empty. I’ve mounted the drive back to it, which it still remains empty. I can see space has been used on the drive though.

What shocks me more is I can still deploy Images?? On the web interface it clearly states an image is stored in /images/Dell7020 however I can’t find this folder ANYWHERE.

Does anybody know how I can clean this mess up?

Many thanks,
Stu

@x23piracy Thanks a bunch. Not sure how i’ve missed this website…!

Hi all,

I’ve been stumbling my way through creating images so far and have a half hacked together unattend file.

Does anybody have a sort of “vanilla” unattend.xml file that I can change or a guide related to later versions of Windows that I can use to create a better one?

My biggest issue is it needed to be set up for United kingdom. Some settings seem to need en-UK and some en-GB and finding out which to use isn’t really clear.

Cheers,
Stu

Thanks!

If I didn’t remove the local account before Sysprep, can I just ignore anything account related in the unattend.xml?

Hi all,

Me and my organisation are new to FOG but have been needing to move away from our ActiveBoot imaging for quite some time.

We have set up our FOG server, tested and working all is fine - even down to Renaming the machine and joining it to the domain.

Previously when we take an image we delete the local user that we setup (We don’t activate the Administrator account) we Sysprep the machine, reboot and take the image. Then when we load an image to a machine it boots up to the OOBE setup. We put our local account name back in and all other details needed.

With FOG, we can obviously still do this. I can enter our local account name, and I can even enter any random computer name as after this setup is complete, FOG takes over and renames the machine and joins it to the domain.

Is there a way I can automatically complete this OOBE? Is there a way to skip this setup and have the account created automatically? I have looked at an unattend.xml however, this seems to go above and beyond what I need it to do.

Many thanks,
Stu
